Hi - we bought Oli one of these Trike - it wasnt cheap, but its good quality and feels really sturdy. We spent more to get one with parental steering, and its fantastic. We go for great walks through the park, along the waterfront etc with him on his trike, but equally he loves going through the mall / supermarket on it! He has just learnt to pedal it, but the model we have has the fold up foot rest which is good before they learn to pedal or before their legs reach the pedals! The only downside we have is that the wheels are quite noisy (interestingly the new models have better tyres / wheels to reduce noise). We also liked that it had a harness to keep him safely on it!
